If only he made that tweet years ago...

Of course no one looks for it or wants to argue early on, though sometimes I would state I wasn't happy about something in a reasonable way to test the waters of a man's temperament and make sure I wasn't dealing with someone abusive, or who couldn't ever hear the word no, because I've seen friends in relationships…

Thank you. This is what I wanted to say (although I do not have a job as awesome as being a sports writer). I am 36, not married, no kids. I have BEEN married - but have no intentions of being so again. I do not want kids. I LOVE sports, I'm a crazy football fan, I have a lot of guy friends, but tons of girl…

Here's a link to the blind item: http://blindgossip.com/?p=55864&cpage…

Yeah, I re-read it just now, seeing what the author said. I can't see a part of this that is oriented toward men. I may be biased at this point because I fit so many parts of the Girl They Hate, but I don't see this as much more than "don't be how you are if you happen to fit this archetype because other women won't…

He looks.... better??

Thank the fucking Lord that I am not the only woman that was insulted by this.

OF THE PENIS.

Yeah, I kind of agree. I don't think cool girl is a phase - I think it can be a legit personality. The idea that every 'cool girl' is faking it and masquerading and deeply unhappy in the end is unfair, and worse, untrue. The not getting angry thing is odd to me, I never would have thought that was a prominent feature…

Throughout the article, I kept thinking it seemed to be written by someone probably pretty emotional who thinks more even-keeled/reserved women just must be full of shit.

I'm with you on the piece having a negative, judgmental tone, and I agree with whomever upthread who said this happens with a lot of Tracy Moore's pieces. If this is a feminist-oriented site (which is debatable if you take it piece by piece), why is it she seems to be so interested in setting women against each other?…

Yep, thank you! I couldn't believe how many people piled on and agreed that women who fit the Cool Girl archetype always, always "come to their senses" and button down and become exactly what the Other Girls expect them to be. FUCK THAT. I don't particularly care if I fit that mold. It's who I fucking AM and it's not…

Thank you, blamberr. Thank you so much for your response. This article's "let me explain why you think you like what you actually do not nor should not like" bullsh*t was condescending as Hell. The overwrought freshman philosophy student stench was overpowering. Glad you spoke up.

What is really telling to me, and kind of gross, is that from the author's point of view you can do all the partying and football watching etc as long as you aren't too attractive - then you are just complicating felinity or something. If you do those things and also happen to be very attractive (hot), then you are a…

I don't think you're being a dick. :)

No, she is very much saying that. Moreover, she's saying that SHE gets to determine who has genuine interests and who does not. That you can somehow tell just by looking at a person if they REALLY like sports or if they just want guys to THINK they like sports (and the determining factor is obviously how hot they…

Totally agree. And I just love knowing that some insecure young woman was busy trying to categorize me when I was in my 20s, just doing my thing. (I also don't get this thing with the not getting angry. Of course you get angry. You get angry and yell a lot.) Just so she could, you know, maintain her grip on how the…

Ha! But, the Commissioner of my Fantasy Football League is also a woman. And sometimes we get together and drink beer and watch games. DAMN THESE STEREOTYPES! I don't even know where these non-beer drinking girls are. I have never met one.

In summary, you're being a woman wrong.

I've been trying to figure out my feelings about this article and I think you might have nailed it on the head. From the picture, it appears that the girl who likes sports (baseball hat), beer, and hamburgers is full of shit.
